Prior to this Jafri Rug restoration did the following:

Initial Inspection

• The
  cleaning process begins with a thorough inspection of the rug. Jafri Rugs
  assesses its material, condition, and any stains or areas of damage. This
  helps determine the appropriate cleaning method and whether any repairs
  are needed.

  Dusting and
Vacuuming

• Pre-Cleaning
  Dusting: Before washing the rug, Jafri Rugs dusting will loosen and
  remove embedded dirt and dust from deep within the fibers. This step is
  crucial for preserving the structure of the rug and preventing dirt from
  turning into abrasive particles during cleaning.


• Vacuuming:
  The rug is vacuumed to remove surface dirt and debris. This step helps
  ensure that the rug is ready for the next phase of cleaning.

  Pre-Treatment of
Stains and Spots

• Jafri
  Rugs will apply specialized treatments to any visible stains or heavily
  soiled areas. These treatments are designed to break down the stain
  without damaging the rug fibers. For delicate rugs, a stain-removal
  solution will be chosen based on the specific material and stain type.

  Washing or Deep
Cleaning

• Hand
  Washing: For high-end rugs or those with fragile fibers, we may choose
  to wash the rug by hand using cool water and a mild olive oil soap detergent.
  This method is especially common for wool, silk, and other delicate
  materials.


• Machine
  Cleaning: Some synthetic rugs may be cleaned with specialized machines
  that use gentle agitation to remove dirt and stains.

  Rinsing

• After
  the washing process, the rug is thoroughly rinsed to remove any detergent
  or cleaning solutions. This step is critical to avoid leaving any residues
  that could attract dirt or cause deterioration over time.

  Drying

• Air
  Drying: Once cleaned, the rug must be dried properly to prevent mold,
  mildew, or warping. This is done in a controlled environment, often using
  specialized equipment that ensures even drying. Rugs are usually laid flat
  or hung in a climate-controlled area.


• Avoiding
  Direct Sunlight: To prevent color fading, rugs are generally not
  placed directly in the sun during the drying process.

  Post-Cleaning
Treatment

• After
  the rug has dried, it may undergo a final treatment, such as brushing or
  combing the fibers to restore its texture. Some rugs may also receive a
  protective treatment to help resist dirt, stains, or future damage.

  Final Inspection
and Return

• Once
  the cleaning and drying processes are complete, the rug is thoroughly
  inspected to ensure it meets the desired cleanliness standards. Any final
  adjustments are made before the rug is returned to its owner.
